A virtuoso overnight? Or remembering a previous lifetime?

Here's an interesting story:

Funny. Science scrambles to explain the inexplicable.The narrator mentions a connection with "Seratonin" release... Hello? it's what the amygdala regulates. And what SSRI drugs inhibit. So you're saying seratonin is involved with his musical ability? (Where do we sign up for that same drug? Just kidding. It's a claim of synesthesia - or the brain rewiring itself to some unknown place where music plays in fairyland.)How about just having a scientist offer "we have no clue?" Here's what science actually shows. That consciousness is NOT confined to the brain. (view UVA's DOPS talk this past week demonstration that consciousness IS NOT confined to the brain.

Start there. If consciousness is not confined to the brain, then there is the possibility that a previous lifetime may be involved with his "spontaneous memory." (See Xenoglossy among other brain "miracles") This fellow "likely" played the piano in a previous lifetime. (See Dr. Jim Tucker's books on children with memories of previous lifetimes (and talents) or Carol Bowman's work.) Their books are filled with people remembering all kinds of things about previous lifetimes.But here's an interesting option:Youtube has created robot crawlers (for Terms of Service violations) to search out rhythm and note frequency to identify if someone is "stealing" a previous musician's music (TOS copyright violations.) If this gent wants to know "who he was" when he "learned how to play" he can seek the help of a hypnotherapist (I recommend those trained in the Newton Institute method) or he can have a search-bot find the same notes/style he's playing in a music catalog. You heard it here FIRST.

My dogme film "CAMERA"

As an experiment, I decided to make a film with a DV camera, completely improvised. The premise was simple; a camera gets stolen from a store and goes around the planet. Every time the lens cap comes off a new story begins.. and at some point, I get the camera and decide to make a "no budget" film. However, no one wants to be in my film (and yet, all the people I approach seem familiar, as they've already been in it). At the end my friend tells me "Why don't you just make a film about a camera?" Appearances by Rebecca Broussard, Carol Alt and Angie Everhart. This film was designated Dogme #15 by the Dogme 95 project.

Flipside Book talk and Past life regression

Here's an hour or so video of my latest book talk at Mystic Journey Books in Venice, Ca. Enjoy!

And here's the second part of the talk, which includes a between life demonstration by Scott De Tamble (lightbetweenlives.com) who has never before conducted a hypnosis session in public. The woman in the audience had become upset when I was speaking about a past life memory which included a native american massacre - afterwards, Scott offered to help her get to the root of the emotion she was having. She's a friend of mine, an industry professional, had read the book "Flipside" but had never met Scott before.

The Martini Shot

It's the last shot of the day. So named, supposedly, because this was when the director was stirring his drinks to celebrate the end of the shoot. The "Abby Singer"is the shot before the Martini shot, named after the AD who invented the "Martini Shot." The last shot of any picture I've directed we call Martini's "Martini." Thanks Abby. (After that, it's all downhill, or uphill, depending.) Welcome to my blog.
